Patient-reported dyspnoea predicts six-fold increased hospital mortality

In contrast to pain, both admission dyspnoea and post-admission-onset dyspnoea were associated with substantially increased odds of poor patient outcomes during hospitalisation and following discharge. Documenting dyspnoea throughout hospitalisation provides a powerful alarm of clinical compromise that may warrant additional attention and outpatient follow-up.

Abstract

In contrast to pain, both admission dyspnoea and post-admission-onset dyspnoea were associated with substantially increased odds of poor patient outcomes during hospitalisation and following discharge. Documenting dyspnoea throughout hospitalisation provides a powerful alarm of clinical compromise that may warrant additional attention and outpatient follow-up.
